Teething Time : Childrens Poetry

Teething Time

My little teeth are coming through I don't know what to do
My Mum gave me a teething ring to sit all day and chew .
Dad said ,
"You've got to get your teeth before you eat your meat"
I watch him crunching crispy bacon as I suck my teat .
If only I had teeth like Dad I'd crunch my teething ring,
but all I have are red raw gums and my God how they sting .
